The situation in the country
I’m really worried about the situation in the country. I feel like we’re really walking towards doom. This crazy and corrupt government passes a corrupt law every day (the Deri law in Tiberias, the Deri law in the Chief Rabbinate, etc.), the security situation is beyond any criticism, our situation in the international arena is in tatters, the economic and high-tech situation is horrible, the government is transferring billions to schools without a core and to the other corrupt goals of the parasites, covering up the madness and now also removing a reasonable excuse that will slow down this crazy gang a little.
I ask what the rabbi recommends doing these days? Are there any operative ways in which we can act? Should we launch a campaign to call on our elected officials (Gantz and Lapid) to enter a unity government? Or should we try with all our might to fight the current government until it falls? I no longer know what we should do these days. What does the rabbi recommend? (Or is the rabbi less bothered by the situation and thinks I’m exaggerating)

Regarding refusal in the army or police, what is the connection between the government's conduct and the refusal? Of course, if it were a specific action like the evacuation during the disengagement, I could understand, but here the connection seems tenuous between the actions of the army and police and the government's conduct.
There is no connection here necessarily. There is room for distrust in their decisions, but a person can say that he is not willing to take orders from such a corrupt gang. In addition, refusal is a tool to get rid of them.
You can't plaster the law and demand that citizens obey the law.
I remember that the first wave of appeals against the reform did not support refusal. Has anything changed since then?
I don't remember anymore, but I think I supported it then too (I just raised a second thought following Erel Segal's conversation with the aforementioned mechanic, which was probably not very authentic).
In any case, until about two months ago I thought there was a possibility of an agreed compromise and therefore I opposed steps aimed at overthrowing the government. I thought we should focus on an agreed formulation for the reform and not bring in the fundamental disputes (ultra-Orthodox, religion and state, etc.). But now, in my opinion, it turns out that the most important thing is overthrowing the government. The reform is a marginal issue. The state is in danger, not democracy.
See my answer in the reply from a few days ago on the grounds of reasonableness.
It's not terrible at all if the state is in danger. What's important is the people of Israel. And the left (or more precisely what it (doesn't) believe in) and its supporters (like Rabbi Michi) are a danger to the people of Israel. Spiritually and therefore also physically. And right now the biggest ”conceptual” enemy of the people of Israel is the state that for some reason is called “Israel”. If the people of Israel were to flourish and the state were to collapse, that would be an excellent thing. The state is, after all, a collection of institutions and officials that are empty of content. The tool, the means - to serve the people of Israel – and not the goal. The people of Israel is the goal. But with the left and probably also with Rabbi Michi ). It's the other way around. Have you ever heard the left or Sa'ar and his ilk talk about the people of Israel, or about Jews (in the true sense of Jews, that is, according to Halacha)? They constantly talk about the state, and the citizens, respectively. Because from the perspective of the officials and the public sector, which are the left, who have no Jewish consciousness and no loyalty to the Jewish people (this is racism), the existence of the Jewish people is destined to serve them. They will have someone to rule over. They wanted to do it in the diaspora already, but they got a kick in the ass in the Dreyfus trial. So it's lucky there are still sucker Jews who can rule over them.
If the institutions that heal us weaken, and they will weaken if the coup passes,
If the institutions that protect us both against the enemy and against internal conduct weaken, and they will be very weak if the coup passes,
Then the people of Israel will be in trouble, probably in danger, in the future,
And according to the ways of nature, it will continue to deteriorate until a tragic end.
Of course, they threaten in this way, but it is clear that these institutions do not care about the people of Israel and have no loyalty to it. This is a really difficult question. We can withdraw into ourselves (religious Zionism and the Mizrahi) and anyone who does not aspire to be part of these institutions should not join the army at all. This is the choice that the Haredim chose at the time. The second option is to sacrifice everything that these institutions give for freedom. People sacrifice their lives for freedom. Because now, de facto, we are in exile (I heard it called the exile of the Rabbi of the evening). I actually support the first option. The first time we tried to achieve freedom in this way led us to a situation where a third of the Jewish people are unable to say the words "the people of Israel", and certainly not without an immune response arising in them. Not to mention for the sake of this collective (this is racism for them. The sin is worse than murder). So in the elections, the government is like a dummy body. And the left will make all the decisions and we will do, as individuals, each what he thinks and that's it. Like Jews in exile. Like the Haredim. Satmar and Chabad were really right only on a realistic and not a normative level. Jews are really forbidden - in the sense of not being able to establish a state - but only with the coming of the Messiah.
Can you explain why you think this government is unusually corrupt? (Bibi's cases are disturbing but not very serious in my opinion, and the conduct of Ben Gvir and the haredi representatives is very disturbing but it is predictable like political conduct and so are political appointments)
Legislation that has nothing to do with the good of the country. Personal legislation to place convicted corrupt people in senior positions and self-serving legislation, including basic laws. Scandalous transfers of funds that will continue to mortgage the country for years to come. They are making a mockery of the law. This has terrible consequences not only in terms of the content of the laws but in terms of the attitude towards the law in general. They are breaking every logical norm. A horrible government that has never been a government that even resembles it.
I wrote in a nutshell, and I really do not intend to get into an unnecessary debate about it.

Beyond the bluff that Rabbi Mikhi is trying to sell here about the purity of his anti-Jewish camp, any government that is formed today from the opposition is a danger to the people of Israel. Therefore, no better government can be formed today. Once it could have been and was (the Netanyahu-Bennett Lapid government). But Bennett was revealed as a swindler and Lapid was revealed as both hollow and progressive (progress is already a danger to all of humanity). By the way, the law has always been a sham. The left has never respected laws that it did not like (they did not enforce laws on non-work on Shabbat, etc.). Therefore, it was all a bluff anyway. This is why no one in the coalition has a problem with these laws (because Rabbi Mikhi had no problem with the law of the “accused.” For some reason, it is personal). They know this truth very well. If the left were to go with the Haredim, they would give them everything, the main thing is to take revenge on Bibi, whom they hate (it is not clear why he is hated. It is because he is going with the Haredim). The "state", as I mentioned, is a collection of officials and buildings that exist in their own eyes for themselves. I also have no interest in worrying about the welfare of the Arabs, who are the fifth column. We should only worry about the people of Israel here in the land and make sure they get a good return on the taxes they pay. By the way, I am convinced that as a general rule, MRT voters contribute very little to the economy. They mainly deal with journalism, law, communications and advertising, marketing, cinema, art, etc. (which is probably not particularly successful either. Modern art). Air professions and selling bluffs and lies - selling mirrors and fantasies. Anti-productive professions. And since they are also withdrawing from the Jewish people (they are progressives. They believe in the anti-racist God) they may have a converted law (i.e. not a captive baby) who was not subject to duty and love for your neighbor like you. But this needs to be discussed) so maybe from my perspective we don't need to worry about them either. Support for the Haredim should also be stopped gradually and not all at once.
It really is a code name for someone who talks about the good of the ”state” (the tool, the empty instrument) I know that he is indifferent to the Jewish people (the essence, the goal). And that is at best. It seems to me that in practice they are even working against it. It is no coincidence that the left is unable to get the name “Israel” out of its mouth and keeps talking about the state that, from its perspective, could have been France or Britain.
Everything done by the current anti-government side may be done by the other side.
It is very irresponsible to call for such refusal.
Nothing will happen if these laws are passed, at most a government will be formed that will repeal them.
